Cursor will not move when in BIOS E6400

0
0

I had this problem which apparently I created for myself.  So here is the story and how I finally extricated myself from the problem.

How I created the problem:

My goal was to have the touchpad disabled when I was using a wireless mouse.  in an attempt to make that happen:

1. I went into the BIOS at power on time and selected POST Behavior, Mouse/Touchpad

2. Then using the Touchpad to move the cursor I selected "Serial Mouse"

3. Clicked on apply

That initially seemed to work.  However, the next time I went into the BIOS at power on time I found that the Cursor was stuck in the centre of the screen and would not move either by using the Touchpad or via the Mouse.  So then I was stuck with no way to change any of the BIOS options.

I talked several times with DELL Support but did not seem to be able to to get any agent, that I talked to, to actually understand the problem. They didn't seem to understand that the BIOS of the E6400 doesn't just use the arrow keys in order to make changes, it requires the cursor.  The arrow keys will move up and down through the Settings menu but do not have any control of the options.

Last night, while searching through forums, I came across a similar problem with another DELL system, can't remember which one.  However, the suggested solution was to reset the BIOS to factory settings. However, I could not do that by the, "LOAD DEFAULTS", button at the bottom of the screen since the Cursor was frozen in the centre of the screen. Another responder suggested a method sounded a little far fetched but I decided to try it. 

The fix:

1. Remove all power including the battery

2. Remove the bottom cover

3. Disconnect the BIOS Coin Battery

4. Press the "Power On" button for approximately 10 seconds, "I held it for 20 seconds just to be sure"

5. Reattach the BIOS Coin Battery

6. Replace the cover

7. Replace the battery and/or the power adapter connection

8. Press "Power On"

9. Press F2 to enter BIOS in order to reset the "Date and Time".  The first test of, "did it work", because if it didn't I was, "Up the creek without a paddle".  WELL THANK YOU!!!, whoever you are, it worked and I'll never select that option again.

THE END

I'm trying to upgrade bios of my e7440 from A14 to A15 using a bootable usb stick, in order to fix the keyboard 'double-typing' problem under linux OS.  

But when executing 'E7440A15.exe' in freedos system prompt it complains "Unable to locate the BIOS update payload".  

Could someone tell me why would this happen and how can I proceed?  

Thanks.

DELL Inspiron N5110 USB 3.0 problem

0
0

Hello,

I have a problem with my USB 3.0 hardware/driver. After I reinstalled the Windows 7 (64bit) and installed the drivers the 3.0 ports worked fine, until I restarted the laptop. After that it did not work at all. If I try to reinstall it, it says No compatible hardware found. I can't even see it in my device manager. After a lot of install and reinstall of my usb drivers it worked fine again until I restarted the laptop. Then the hardware disappeared again. I have the latest BIOS installed. 

What do you think what the problem is. Is it the hardware or something else?

Thank You in advance.

Hello,

I am Stacy working with Unitel Direct. I have bought my laptop 4 years before and its working fine without any complaints which is really a great experience. I heard that Dell mobile devices are also  in market. Is it so? If yes? then what are the features that made it different from other mobile devices. Looking forward for your views.

Thanks

Inspiron 7352: Upgrade memory and hard drive.

0

Hi

I'm considering to buy this laptop but have a few questions before deciding:

1 - Can I replace the default 8gb memory module with a 16gb one? If so, what's the recommended brand/model I should buy? I can see that the laptop only has one memory slot, so a 16gb module is needed, but I couldn't find it after a quick best buy search.

2 - Is this 512GB ssd compatible with the laptop?

3 - Is this laptop the inspiron 13 7000 special edition?(The best buy link does not mention it)

I'm a programmer that works with many virtual machines, so 16gb memory is a requirement. In case it's not possible with this laptop, I'd love some 13.3 laptop(preferably 2 in 1) alternative.

Thanks in advance

BIOS ISSUES for Inspiron 15R (N5110, Early 2011)

0
0

Windows 10 will not upgrade because it says that my BIOS is not supported.  I've went to Dell Support and I downloaded the latest BIOS but still, I can't download Windows 10.  I contacted Microsoft and they were so helpful; he remoted in to my system and everything was in line from a Microsoft stand point.  He told me to contact Dell because of my BIOS issues.  

So I contact Dell and of course I got rude customer service as always and of course I was told that they were unable to assist me with my BIOS unless I paid a fee because my system was no longer under warrantee.... Really Dell?!?!?  Why is it that other companies will assist their customers with minor fixes at no expense and Dell wants to nickle and dime their customers? 

Is there anyone out here that is able to assist me or point me in the right direction?

Firstly, i just bought this inspiron 14 model a few months back. Recently, there would be wifi disconnection occasionally. Not much of a problem, though would it be possible to provide some suggestion.

Main problem right now would be that, when i restart the laptop to get wifi connection, the screen woild only show that the laptop is restarting. However, it has been going on for an hour already. Currently, i would be in a rush so please provide solution for this problem. It would be best that i can solve this without having to send it foraintainece or so. Would appreciate the effort for replying asap :)
